Abstract

L'invention concerne des systèmes, des procédés et des dispositifs utilisés pour traiter les paupières, les glandes de Meibomius, les canaux et le tissu environnant. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement de l'œil qui comprend une protection sclérale pouvant être placée à proximité d'une surface interne d'une paupière, la protection sclérale étant constituée, ou revêtue, d'un matériau absorbant l'énergie activé par une énergie lumineuse, et d'un transducteur d'énergie pouvant être placé à l'extérieur de la paupière, le transducteur d'énergie étant conçu pour fournir de l'énergie lumineuse à une ou plusieurs longueurs d'onde, comprenant une première longueur d'onde sélectionnée pour chauffer le matériau absorbant l'énergie.
